Virtual Celebrating the Penrose Legacy on the 80th Anniversary of Penrose Heritage Museum

Saturday, September 11
2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
In honor of Colorado Springs’ sesquicentennial anniversary, the CSPM unveiled a new exhibit, COS@150. This robust exploration of our community’s history and culture features 150 objects, illuminates 150 stories, commemorates 150 years. Throughout the commemoration year, we invite you to explore these stories through a series of regional history lectures.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
In 1941, Julie Penrose opened the El Pomar Carriage House Museum, now known as Penrose Heritage Museum. To commemorate this anniversary, Penrose Heritage Museum will open new exhibits in October 2021. This lecture will explore new aspects of the Penrose legacy revealed in these new exhibits as well as the impact of their legacy in our lives today.
